💅 devenv-processes-down(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page for devenv-processes-down, and I'm literally about to break it all the way down for you. no cap, every flag stays, I just made it cute 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

devenv-processes-down — stop the running process manager and its processes. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "shut it down, we're done here" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

devenv processes down [--user-config] [--from] [-o|--override-input]
[-O|--option] [-j|--max-jobs] [-u|--cores] [-s|--system] [-i|--impure]
[--no-impure] [--offline] [--nix-option] [--nix-debugger] [-c|--clean]
[-P|--profile] [--reload] [--no-reload] [--shell] [--eval-cache]
[--no-eval-cache] [--refresh-eval-cache] [--refresh-task-cache]
[--secretspec-provider] [--secretspec-profile] [--trace-to]
[-v|--verbose] [-q|--quiet] [--tui] [--no-tui] [-h|--help]

like, that's the whole mood board of options right there 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Stop the running process manager and its processes. genuinely that's it. short, sweet, slays 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --user-config <USER_CONFIG> — use this user configuration file instead of the XDG default 🎀

🌈 INPUT OVERRIDES 🌈

  • --from <FROM> — the source for devenv.nix. it can be either a filesystem path (with the path: prefix, bestie, don't forget it) or a flake input reference ✨

Examples:

--from github:cachix/devenv
--from github:cachix/devenv?dir=examples/simple
--from path:/absolute/path/to/project
--from path:./relative/path
  • -o, --override-input <NAME> <URI> — override inputs in devenv.yaml. icon behaviour, no notes 🔥

Examples:

--override-input nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable
--override-input nixpkgs path:/path/to/local/nixpkgs
  • -O, --option <OPTION:TYPE> <VALUE> — override configuration options with typed values. the type is not optional, ok? OPTION must include a type, and the format is <attribute>:<type> 💅

Supported types, listing them so you don't have to guess: string, int, float, bool, path, pkg, pkgs

list types (pkgs) append to existing values by default. add a ! suffix to replace instead: pkgs! ⭐

Examples:

--option languages.rust.channel:string beta
--option services.postgres.enable:bool true
--option languages.python.version:string 3.10
--option packages:pkgs "ncdu git"       (appends to packages)
--option packages:pkgs! "ncdu git"      (replaces all packages)

see that last pair? append vs replace, the ! is doing all the work. main character energy honestly 💀

🧚 NIX OPTIONS 🧚

  • -j, --max-jobs <MAX_JOBS> — max number of Nix builds running at the same time in parallel.

defaults to 1/4 of available CPU cores (minimum 1) 🍓

  • -u, --cores <CORES> — how many CPU cores each build gets.

defaults to available cores divided by max-jobs (minimum 1) ✨

  • -s, --system <SYSTEM> — override the target system.

defaults to the host system (e.g. aarch64-darwin, x86_64-linux) 🦋

  • -i, --impure — relax the hermeticity of the environment. yes "hermeticity" is a real word, I checked 🙈
  • --no-impure — force a hermetic environment, overriding config. the strict bestie 🌸
  • --offline — disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date 💜
  • --nix-option <NAME> <VALUE> — pass additional options to nix commands.

these get passed directly to Nix using the --option flag. see man nix.conf for the full list of available options, iykyk 👑

Examples:

--nix-option sandbox false
--nix-option keep-outputs true
--nix-option system x86_64-darwin
  • --nix-debugger — enter the Nix debugger on failure. when things go wrong, go in and look 🔥

🐚 SHELL OPTIONS 🐚

  • -c, --clean [<CLEAN>...] — ignore existing environment variables when entering the shell. you can pass a list of comma-separated environment variables to let through, like VIPs at the door 🎀
  • -P, --profile <PROFILES> — activate one or more profiles defined in devenv.nix.

profiles let you define different configurations that can be merged with your base configuration. very mix-and-match 💅

see https://devenv.sh/profiles for more information.

Examples:

--profile python-3.14
--profile backend --profile fast-startup
  • --reload — enable auto-reload when config files change (default). it just keeps up with you ✨
  • --no-reload — disable auto-reload when config files change. chill mode activated 😭
  • --shell <SHELL_TYPE> — shell to use for interactive sessions (bash, zsh, fish, nu).

Possible values:

  • bash
  • zsh
  • fish
  • nu

🌟 CACHE OPTIONS 🌟

  • --eval-cache — enable caching of Nix evaluation results (default) ⭐
  • --no-eval-cache — disable caching of Nix evaluation results 💀
  • --refresh-eval-cache — force a refresh of the Nix evaluation cache 🦋
  • --refresh-task-cache — force a refresh of the task cache 🔥

🎀 SECRETSPEC OPTIONS 🎀

  • --secretspec-provider <SECRETSPEC_PROVIDER> — override the secretspec provider 🤫
  • --secretspec-profile <SECRETSPEC_PROFILE> — override the secretspec profile 🤫

🔍 TRACING OPTIONS 🔍

  • --trace-to <TRACE_TO> — enable tracing and set output destination(s). can be repeated for multiple outputs, so stack 'em if you want 🫶

Syntax: [format:]destination

Examples:

--trace-to stderr                              # json to stderr
--trace-to pretty:stderr                       # pretty format to stderr
--trace-to json:file:/tmp/trace.json           # JSON to file
--trace-to otlp-grpc                           # OTLP gRPC to default endpoint
--trace-to otlp-grpc:http://collector:4317     # OTLP gRPC to custom endpoint

Multiple outputs:

--trace-to pretty:stderr --trace-to json:file:/tmp/t.json

Destinations: stdout, stderr, file:<path>, http(s)://<host>:<port>

Formats: json (default), pretty, full, otlp-grpc, otlp-http-protobuf, otlp-http-json

when the format is omitted, it defaults to json. tracing is disabled by default — you gotta opt in bestie 👑

env vars in the mix: DEVENV_TRACE_TO= (comma-separated) and DEVENV_TRACE_DEFAULT_TO= (comma-separated, used only when no explicit tracing is configured; set it to an empty string to suppress) 🌈

💜 GLOBAL OPTIONS 💜

  • -v, --verbose — enable additional debug logs. more words, more clues 🔍
  • -q, --quiet — silence all logs. not a peep 💀
  • --tui <TUI> — enable the interactive terminal interface (default when interactive).

Possible values:

  • true
  • false
  • --no-tui — disable the interactive terminal interface 🙈
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h) ✨

okay that's literally the whole page, nothing skipped, nothing merged, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

and for the cute sign-off: this page is down from devenv-processes-down(1), dated the same day as always in the footer — mwah, love you, go stop those processes 💖
